Traction Software News & Articles

Traction Software (news, site) adds a range of dashboards and features to its social enterprise platform to improve monitoring and collaboration.

In the first upgrade to its enterprise 2.0 social software product TeamPage since last March, Traction Software (news, site) has taken TeamPage on the road for the release of v4.2.

Not literally ‘on the road’ -- although the company is currently exhibiting at the Enterprise 2.0 conference currently underway in San Francisco -- but it has added new features that gives users the ability to post content and comments on company wikis or blogs ‘on the road’ with simple, secure two-way email based collaboration.

A branch of the Ricoh tree called IKON Office Solutions, Inc. recently established a reseller relationship with Omtool, provider of document capture and handling solutions.

The partnership is expected to turn the heads of law firms as it adds Omtool’s AccuRoute, a document scanning and distribution software tool, to IKON’s legal doc management portfolio. AccuRoute is designed to streamline the capture to archive process of both paper and electronic documents into information management systems.

“IKON is pleased to add the Omtool product to our suite of solutions to enable law firms to improve their document workflow and increase efficiency,” said Mark Davey, IKON’s Vice President, Legal Enterprise Solutions. “With the current economic conditions that law firms are facing, everyone is being asked to do more. Having the right tools available is more critical than ever.”

If this strikes a chord, you should hang around booth #400 at ILTA’s 2009 Annual Conference next week where both companies will be presenting. Check out our events list here for more information.

The principal additions to the latest version of Traction Software’s TeamPage (news, site), which has recently been released, are new plugins that will allow companies analyze user activity on enterprise blogs, wiki pages and other interactive platforms.

TeamPage 4.1, Traction says, will allow a company to identify even complex patterns in user habits and, in doing so, adapt enterprise wikis, or blogs, to suit the needs or requirements of the people in the company that use it.
